Handova vs paper logbooks: stop chasing notebooks and receipts

Paper logbooks and receipt books have run fleets for decades. But paper gets lost, can be rewritten, and only tells you what happened when you finally read it.

Where paper logbooks let fleets down

Lost, wet and unreadable

Logbooks get left in vehicles, rained on, torn and lost. So do the receipts inside them.

Easy to change after the fact

A number written in pen can be changed, and a page can go missing. There is no record of who wrote what, and when.

You see it days later

You only find out about a shortage or a problem with a vehicle when you collect and read the book.

No totals without hours of work

Turning pages of handwriting into profit per vehicle takes an evening every week, if it gets done at all.

Questions

Before you switch

What if a driver doesn't have a smartphone?

A manager or supervisor can enter that driver's report on their behalf from their own phone or computer.

What if there is no signal?

Drivers need a connection for a moment to send the report. GPS points recorded while there is no signal are kept on the phone and sent as soon as it is back online.
